Sustainable Freight. Responsible Networks. Transparent Operations.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) at Mazala Logistics

At Mazala Logistics, we believe modern freight solutions must do more than move goods — they must drive environmental accountability, create equitable opportunities, and be governed with integrity. As a digital-first freight brokerage, we leverage automation and data to reduce waste, empower small carriers, and build a resilient, ethical supply chain for the future of logistics.

♻️ Environmental Responsibility

Freight transportation is a major source of carbon emissions. Mazala Logistics is committed to reducing environmental impact by empowering smarter routing, efficient load planning, and emission-conscious freight matching.

Our Environmental Focus:

• Optimized Load Matching: We use technology to reduce deadhead miles, improve trailer utilization, and enable better route planning.
• Digital Documentation: Our paperless operations and eBOL solutions eliminate unnecessary printing and reduce resource use across the freight cycle.
• Carrier Visibility: We encourage and support partner carriers who invest in cleaner equipment and sustainable fuel practices.
• Smart Modal Choices: Where applicable, we advise shippers on alternatives (e.g., intermodal or consolidated LTL) to reduce fuel consumption.

Our Commitments:

• Promote load consolidation and fuel-efficient routes
• Encourage the adoption of SmartWay-certified carriers
• Reduce our digital infrastructure footprint through lean platform design
• Continuously measure and report on emissions reduction opportunities

Social Responsibility

At Mazala Logistics, our operations touch a diverse network of shippers, drivers, dispatchers, and agents. We work to ensure our systems and partnerships advance equity, inclusion, and small business empowerment.

Equity in the Freight Ecosystem:

• Support for Small Carriers: We provide consistent load access, flexible payment options, and simplified onboarding for independent operators and small fleets.
• Minority & Woman-Owned Business Empowerment: We actively seek to grow our network of MWBE-certified carriers and agents.
• Inclusive Employment Culture: As a remote-first, digitally integrated company, we provide flexible work opportunities across locations, demographics, and personal situations.

Client Empowerment:

• Transparent quotes and no hidden fees
• Equal access to real-time updates, documents, and rate breakdowns
• Freight education content to support growing businesses

Governance and Compliance

Freight brokerage requires strict adherence to federal and state regulations. At Mazala Logistics, we integrate governance and transparency into every part of our carrier management, rate quoting, and contractual execution.

Governance Foundations:

• FMCSA-Compliant Brokerage: We are fully licensed, bonded, and compliant with all federal and state regulations governing transportation intermediaries.
• Carrier Vetting: We use multi-layered screening to ensure all carriers have valid DOT/MC authority, up-to-date insurance, and acceptable safety records.
• Cybersecurity: All freight-related data is stored and transmitted securely using encrypted, access-controlled systems.

Ethical Standards:

• No double brokering or deceptive subcontracting
• Rate honesty — we disclose all fees and terms up front
• Conflict-free booking: carriers and shippers are treated with equal integrity
• Our team is trained on TIA best practices and anti-fraud procedures

Measuring ESG in Freight

We understand that what gets measured gets managed. That’s why we aim to introduce ESG metrics into our operations, including:

• % of loads booked with SmartWay carriers
• % of small and diverse-owned carriers onboarded
• CO₂ emissions avoided through optimized routing
• Number of eBOL transactions vs. paper-based BOLs

As we grow, we will publish annual ESG progress snapshots to maintain transparency and benchmark improvement.
